Back to School Planning with ADHD

It may seem like school is a long way off still, but these last few weeks of summer will be gone before we know it. Get better prepared with some of my tips and others that are linked below. When you decide what you will do, decide when to do it and honor your commitment to yourself.

The following ideas and suggestions are at the top of my list:

Talk to your child and ask how they would like to get ready for the school year.

Talk with your child’s doctor, therapist, coach, tutor and/or any other support person in their lives. Ask what they recommend to help your child start the school year successfully.

Ensure that your child has a planner that will work for them. Their school may provide one that works, you can customize a teacher’s lesson plan book, check out the blog of “adhdmomma” for a customized planner, or check out your local office products store.

Testimonials

“I have noticed such an improvement in the way he is managing his responsibilities… You have been a tremendous asset.”

TR from Michigan (mom of a college student with ADHD)

“My experience working with Laura Rolands as my Attention Coach has been extremely beneficial. She has offered me encouragement, support, feedback, and inspiration in a highly professional and ethical environment. While I originally began working with her to tighten up my business goals, I have seen progress in the social, academic, and personal areas of my life, as well, both in the tangibles of being accountable for the goals I set and in the intangibles, such as punctuality and deliberateness, two areas with which I have struggled for most of my life. I give her an A+ rating for her efforts on my behalf, as well as for the resources she has furnished. Anyone who retains Laura’s services can expect to see marked improvement in both quantity and quality of accomplishments; I highly recommend her.”

D.M. from Troy Michigan

“Laura helped me step back and take a look at one of my daughter’s challenges to find the root of our frustration. With Laura’s help I was able to analyze the situation and choose a place to start. Laura taught me to develop an effective action plan to use with my daughter who loves the plan and reward system. Now my daughter is proud of herself when she uses the plan to help her stay on task. Thank you, Laura!”
